Dr. Matt Heilala, DPM

Dr. Hielala cuts to the chase! He doesn’t waste your time with half fixes. I have seen him over many years, and I’ve never been disappointed. I’ve sent relatives & friends to him. Everyone is more than happy with his diagnosis and treatments.

The wonderful staff and well-organized clinic. Pre and postoperative visits fit into my schedule and provide perfect, professional guidace throughout my experience. My expectation has so far been above and beyond. What a wonderful resource for all Alskans. Thank you

Dr. Heilala was very courteous and listened to my concerns. Did a great job of explaining my diagnosis and presenting my options. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

DrH is friendly and professional. He fixed my bunion and a year later removed the screws with minimal incision. I healed quickly and am satisfied with the results.

He was very thorough and knowledgeable. This was a second opinion and he did consider the results from my first opinion Dr.

Knowledgeable and friendly

In response to all me concerns Dr. Heilala explained in detail how the foot works. This was the knowledge I was seeking.

Stubbed toes

Dr. Heilala’s warm friendly manner made me feel that he genuinely cared about my situation. His professionalism inspired confidence that I was going to receive the best course of treatment. I would without hesitation recommend him to anyone that needs to see a podiatrist.

The thoroughness and explanations were great and allowed making a decision easy.

He did 2 ingrown toenail removal surgeries for me and both times he did a great job in every possible way. He has great bedside manner, he's patient, he doesn't talk over you, he's very experienced with medical technique and because of his experience he's able to significantly reduce the amount of pain felt during things such as numbing shots, nerve blocks, and general surgery. I've had 3 ingrown toenail removal surgeries, the 1 that wasn't done by Matt was extremely painful, the pain from the numbing shot was almost unbearable. The 2 procedures that were done by Matt were nearly painless. He did the exact same thing and I hardly felt any pain. I would definitely recommend him for anything foot and ankle.

As always, Dr. Heilala was professional and friendly. We discussed another appointment and antibiotics. Something did go wrong with scheduling as I was on time and there were two patients before me. Long wait time.

Treated very respectfully and personally.

Initial visit found everyone very help full and understanding of my condition Was given the information and options to be able make decisions for my care Will most definitely continue my option of treatment as advised by the doctor.

Dr. Heilala has done excellent by me the times I've seen him, extensive surgery to office visits he was great.

Had a long wait for the appointment, but Dr. Heilala was very professional and easy to talk to.

Dr. Heilala is professional and extremely knowledgeable. He did a great job with my feet surgery. Very friendly and helpful support staff as well.

He is very thoughtful and thorough. He took time to explain the recovery process and prevention of reoccurrence.

Dr. Heilala is one of the most personable and professional doctors I’ve had experience with, in Alaska or otherwise. His surgery expertise and follow-up patient care is absolutely the best. I am honored to recommend him, and have recommended him to many in the Anchorage community.

Dr. Matt Heilala has cared for my "diabetic feet" for over twenty years. With his help, I've been able to avoid any of the pitfalls most folks in their late seventies have dealt with. He even prescribed a ten-day antibiotic supply to carry with me while traveling in the "bush" in the event the unavoidable distance walking were to cause a foot infection. This antibiotic was enough to last until I could return home and get in to his office. I highly recommend Dr. Heilala or any of his personally selected staff at Alaska Foot and Ankle Specialists.
